“Take Your Best Shot” Show Guidelines

Ptarmigan Arts, in conjunction with the Alaska World Arts Festival, invites the Homer community to submit your best photos of the Homer area for our September show “Take Your Best Shot” and a chance to win prizes. Please view the full Call for Submissions here.

Show Guidelines:

  • Entrants may submit up to three photos in either the Adult or Youth categories, and Ptarmigan Arts agrees to accept at least one for the show, space permitting. Entrants in the Youth category must be 15 or younger.
  • Unsuitable content, as determined by Ptarmigan Arts, will not be accepted.
  • Photography must be ready to hang. Photos must be framed or mounted on acrylic, canvas or metal. Please, no unframed paper prints. See below for a list of printers who are affordable, produce quality photos, and ship relatively quickly.
  • There is no size requirement.
  • Entrants are required to sign an agreement with Ptarmigan Arts when photos are submitted. They will be available at the front desk and must include the titles of your photos, prices, and your name and contact information. Parent or guardian must sign for minors.
